Something connecting to a webpage every minute

The default search provider is microsoft. (I have changed mine to google... so I get redirected to a google page.)

So, the reason you could be seeing microsoft when you try to visit that site is because you're being redirected. But, who knows. I don't have your eyes and can't see what you have on your screen.
